Chief Oda won't complain

"Leader, why do you insist that we enter the campus? Does it really have any meaning?"

One day, poker asked me this.

He always obeys my arrangement, studies hard on campus, and learns ahead of himself spontaneously. He has almost finished all the knowledge of the second grade in only two months, which is very good.

Although this kind of excellence is not comparable to people like Dazai Ango, as an ordinary person, he is already too active, and he seems to really love learning.

But poker doesn't actually love learning. He is just trying to complete all the tasks I assign, trying to repeatedly emphasize to everyone that he is my chosen successor, and he has the qualifications to become the next leader.

"I just can't figure it out." Poker, who spent two months on campus, sorted out his doubts and came to me. "I think that all the knowledge on campus can be learned by self-study. It is more efficient to listen to lectures in class. As for those who are forced to study hard, I think it is better to let them go, and the organization itself does not need all members to be educated."

I nodded: "If it is just to maintain the operation of an underground organization, it is indeed not necessary for everyone to receive education."

Poker looked at me suspiciously: "So, you do have other purposes?"

I didn't explain it right away, but asked him first: "What do you think of the school, do you like it here?"

"I can't say whether I like it or not. I just know that staying here for a long time will make people relax and lose their due vigilance. After-school activities include making desserts, flower arrangements, painting, etc., which are meaningless.

Moreover, the content of the teaching is only the knowledge of ordinary people. Except for Mr. Kajii who taught bombs, other knowledge has little effect on the development of the organization.Many enemies thought we were crazy or drunk, and laughed at us. "

Poker put it more tactfully, but the central meaning to be expressed is still very clear, and I completely understand: "So you don't actually like school."

This is a very normal thing, and I don't expect that everyone will fall in love with campus life after experiencing campus life.

But that's why I want everyone to go to school.

"Poker, that's why I don't think you have what it takes to be my successor."

Poker's face changed, and his fingers were grasped. I signaled him to relax: "It's okay, you just don't like school. But people will always miss the past, you just need to experience and remember deeply enough."

"Leader, don't comfort me, just remembering is obviously not enough." Poker smiled wryly, "Please tell me, what kind of successor do you expect?"

The child was obviously impatient. I will not answer all the questions for the time being. Instead, I will return to the previous topic: "Actually, my purpose of letting everyone go to school is very simple. I hope everyone can understand the value of peace."

"The value of peace?"

I said: "If people stay in the dark for a long time, they will gradually lose the ability to survive in the sun. And that ability is originally possessed by human beings, which is healthy and beneficial. If everyone can regain this ability, it will be great. alright."

Just like Koyo Ozaki, like Dazai, like...many, many people, maybe including mimic.

There are countless examples that can be cited. It is always difficult for people who have trekked in the dark for too long to spontaneously understand what is light.

The living attitude of my favorite people is the natural living attitude of the common people: darkness and light are intertwined, bittersweet, entangled and troubled by various trivial matters every day, and cherish hard-won happiness in countless distresses.

Many people in the port mafia have been alienated by darkness, happiness and peace have become like poisons that can hurt them, and their living conditions and spirits are on the edge of the crowd.

Although this is not just an organizational issue of port mafia.Rather, it is a common problem for people living throughout the black world.

But since I am the leader of the port mafia, I also have the right to change the organization according to my own will, right?

And I once talked nonsense in front of Mr. Natsume Soseki, trying to change the whole city together.

Poker was speechless for a while, he was very smart and understood what I was expecting.

Now he looked at me like he was looking at a madman: "So, you deliberately want us to relax and lose our vigilance on campus, you want us to spontaneously have the desire to escape from the black world and live a peaceful life, right?"

I shook my head: "What kind of life a person wants to live cannot be controlled by others. I have no intention of changing everyone's thoughts. But if someone really wants to leave the black world because of this, I will approve him to leave."

Poker shouted excitedly: "But leader, you understand, you are digging your own grave!"

I found that poker's vocabulary has made great progress, and I can already use the word "digging my own grave", which is really gratifying.

He looked suddenly frightened and vulnerable, and his tone of voice became humble when he spoke to me, as if he was pleading: "I know, I know this is a good thing for me personally, I have fantasized about a peaceful life before, but we It's port mafia! Once everyone gets a taste of peace and gets soft, we'll be screwed."

Why does the organization end when members become soft-hearted?And why does falling in love with peace mean being soft-hearted?

This assumed causality is rife with arrogance and prejudice.

I frowned slightly, and reminded him with a heavy tone: "Don't let your emotions prevail over your reason, and don't let your words lose order, otherwise you will never be able to become the leader of the organization."

Poker's body trembled slightly, he quickly adjusted his state, licked his lips and bowed his head, "Please forgive me for my impatience... Excuse me, may I know what you will do next after everyone has come into contact with peace?"

This time I answered directly: "I will gradually cut off the darkest and most filthy parts of the organization, and extract the hands and feet from the deepest black. I have studied the income structure of the organization, and found that only relying on relatively gray and ordinary businesses such as gem smuggling is enough Normal and stable operation is maintained.”

That way, I don't have to worry about Dazai all the time.

Actually I'd rather have Dazai leave port mafia straight away.But if I ask him to leave on the premise that I am the leader, he will probably go crazy.

Moreover, Dazai has worked hard to rely on his ability to sit in the position of a cadre, and he is dedicated to his job. I can't just seize his power by pulling the banner of being good for him.

Well, let the whole port mafia be an organization suitable for the life of a sensitive child like Dazai.

When Dazai and Dazai first met Tayama Hanabou, Dazai once said it to me.If I don't intend to keep the organization as it is, the changes will gradually snowball bigger and bigger.

Maybe it's a subtle change, maybe it's a sudden drastic change, no matter what the method is, it will always become an appearance that can be accepted by Huadai in the future.

I keep these words deeply in my heart, and I am also working hard to practice them. I am looking forward to the future where Hanakou accepts port mafia like she accepts a detective agency.

Poker stared at me and struggled to organize his words: "Boss, I know you are kind, but I thought it was just a sale of benefits. When we pulled our hands and feet from the darkest part, the miscellaneous fish organizations in Yokohama, no, It is all the organizations in the world that think they are profitable—everyone will swarm up to share the benefits like a group of sharks smelling blood."

He thought a lot and said with great conviction: "If we don't do the darkest things, others will still do them. This is to weaken our own strength in disguise."

It was a lot more logical than it was before, and I knew poker was trying to be polite, which made me smile.

In fact, my idea of ​​trying to "whitewash" the organization is very naive and idealistic, and I understand it myself.

Port Mafia is no smaller group than your average underground world.

It is extremely difficult for those small groups to clean up their crimes, and most of them will end up being dismembered and devoured by hostile forces.

And the port mafia is the largest underground organization in Yokohama. It has made too many enemies and has sailed too deep in the dark. It is impossible to completely turn the bow.

It is like a towering tree, its root system goes deep into the ground and continues to extend. It is no longer a small sapling that can be shoveled out and transplanted with a shovel.

From this perspective, every bit of black business that Port Mafia lets go of is a weakening of its own strength.

Think the same from another angle.Port mafia is currently able to run amok in the dark.

But if you slam into the daytime field and play according to other people's rules, the consequence is of course being played by others.

Fortunately, I have no intention of "whitewashing" the organization.In fact, the idea of ​​"whitewashing" itself is an offense to the existence of port mafia.

Mr. Natsume Soseki included the organization into the three-moment concept because he faced the night squarely.

There will always be nights in Yokohama, I just hope that everyone will not sink too deep in the nights.

For example, the black color of population and certain powder trade can only bring trauma and chaos to the city. I think it is better to disappear completely. I like peaceful and warm cities.

I said to poker: "You see the dark field as inexhaustible, it exists forever, waiting to be filled by anyone. So you believe that as soon as the organization exits some black field, the enemy will immediately fill in."

Poker seems to have realized something.

I further said: "Where there is light there is darkness, it is true, but the world is in constant motion and change. Why do you think that when I decide to pull the organization out of a darkness, I will allow that darkness Continue to exist and let others take over?"

What I said was a little too obvious, causing poker to show a shocked expression.

That being the case, I'll say something that I don't usually say.

"I know what a truly peaceful world looks like, it's not fantasy, it exists. Kids go to school for granted, worry about grades and relationships every day, don't have to dodge underground shootouts or human traffickers, life and death is a matter of few people What needs to be considered, slums do not exist, everyone has enough food and clothing.”

I looked into poker's eyes, soothing the disbelief that was there.

I said with certainty: "You think the darkness and the cold will never subside, no, it's just because the sun is not warm enough. Everyone has the vision of pursuing a better life. So it doesn't matter if we believe in people's hearts more."

Poker murmured: "If you want to trust people's hearts more, the price you need to pay in a place like Yokohama is huge."

Does it really cost a lot?

If I'm the only one struggling, maybe it is.

I laughed: "I know, but do you think we can't do it? As long as port mafia becomes the only organization that can speak out in Yokohama's black world, as long as all other illegal organizations must abide by the rules of the game we set, then all We can look forward to a future where everyone has to obediently go to school."

What I said is really arrogant, but who made me so confident?

No matter which world, the people around me support me, even Xingyue, who can travel through the world at will, supports me.Everyone is a much better person than me, but they support my fantasy together.

Poker struggled for a moment, then suddenly smiled with relief: "I wouldn't believe it if it was any other organization, but as you said, we are port mafia, and we are the leader in Yokohama's dark night, so it is only natural to formulate new rules."

He said seriously: "But leader, the opposition in the dark may not be a concern. But aren't you afraid of being looked down upon by other forces under the sun? Maybe in the future those official people will think that we can be eradicated, anyway, Yokohama will not fall into chaos again gone."

The meaning of this sentence is probably to beware of killing donkeys and supporting soldiers with self-respect.It is a kind of judgment that is taken for granted because the specific situation is not yet understood.

Poker really doesn't need to worry about the organization being regarded as an object that needs to be eliminated by the authorities.

Mr. Bu Tisen has achieved those achievements that made the officials infinitely stalking the rats. It is only because of me that the organization has been hooked up with the officials.

But I'm satisfied enough that the kid can think of that.If he doesn't even recognize the true value of the organization, I won't allow him to pose as my successor.

"Poker, aren't you curious about what qualities qualify you to be my successor? Now you know."

"Is it to create and protect peace in Yokohama?"

"Yes..." I patted Poker's shoulder lightly, "And when you get to that step, you will understand that you already own this city."

Three moment conception?How hard it is for the three forces to draw a clear line from each other and carefully maintain a balance, there is absolutely no way.

In a peaceful world, everyone is one of their own. It is good to gather together with the same interests and harmony without differences in positions.

Poker looked at me, showing some dreamy look, and actually took half a step back, knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to me.

His voice was very soft, but his tone was strangely excited and high-pitched: "Please allow me to follow you forever, sir, please allow me to witness the brilliance of your ambitions, please be my teacher forever, and guide me in the direction of going forward. "

Not long after that, I noticed a big change in poker.His character became calm and low-key, and he no longer deliberately pursued the position of leader.

He no longer worked hard, but made more people in the organization recognize him.

Poker is not the only one who has changed. The campus is a good place to train people. After Atsushi Nakajima and Akutagawa went to school in the same class, I found a wonderful chemical reaction between the two.

Atsushi Nakajima and Akutagawa would stuff broken glass into each other's desks;

They snatched each other's erasers; tore each other's homework; actively tied together in the two-person three-leg event in physical education class, and then ignored the rules of the game and used their abilities to wrestle into a ball.

after work in lupi

During the rest of the bar, whenever these things were mentioned, Dazai would beam with joy: "The two of them are fighting openly and secretly for my favor. Oh, I tell them every time: "Stop fighting for me! You are all me Dear student!" to no avail. "

He smiled and shook his head: "It's really troublesome to be a popular teacher."

Ango always exposes Dazai: "Dazai-kun deliberately instigated it, right? It was Dazai-kun and Akutagawa-kun who said that there are school rules on campus, and whoever dislikes should start with small things and make trouble for the other party. Turn around and tell Dun-kun As long as you defeat Akutagawa-kun, you can control the supernatural power once and for all, and you will no longer be afraid of the tiger running out without permission."

Dazai tapped his finger on the wine glass and put on an innocent look: "I just said it casually, but I didn't expect them to remember it in their hearts. And I only gave the example of putting broken glass in the desk, and then grabbed the eraser and tore it up." Fighting in homework and physical education class is something they learned by themselves, and I am also very distressed."

I tried to help come up with a solution: "How about next time they fight again, suggest that they use a dance competition to win?"

Actually, I wanted to suggest a singing competition, but some fading memories suddenly hit me, and I subconsciously changed my words.

Ango shut his mouth tightly, as if he didn't know what to do, but Dazai clapped his hands again and again: "This idea is really good, next time I will tell them: "Stop! Don't fight any more, you have to go to dance practice Hit the room!" I feel quite imposing. "

"That's right..." An Wu stared at the wine glass erratically, "Just as long as you are happy."

Dazai said, "When the time comes, both Odasaku and Ango will be in charge of judging the dance competition, right?"

An Wu shook his head: "I don't even want to die."

I asked, "What about you, Dazai?"

"I'm in charge of being the prize." Dazai laughed cheerfully, "Just like Sleeping Beauty, lying there obediently with eyes closed, waiting to be kissed by the winner."

Behind the bar, the bartender cast an indescribable gaze.

Ango said unceremoniously: "If Dazai-kun is Sleeping Beauty, I will feel sincerely sad for all the princes in the world."

"Oh, if Ango, you really want to kiss me, you can actually come to participate in the competition—" Dazai blinked his eyes, his shoulders were slightly retracted, his face was slightly lowered, and his lips were slightly pursed, vividly shy.

An Wu's face changed drastically, as if he had been bitten severely by a wolf, and he ran away in a hurry after saying that he had to prepare lessons and it would be inconvenient to stay for a long time.

I don't quite understand why Ango is so anxious.I remember that he usually prepares lessons in advance and is very organized.

Now that he is rushing to work like this, I feel like a bad leader who is good at squeezing his subordinates.

Dazai glanced at the half glass of wine that Ango left behind, showed a remorseful expression, and sighed to me with a wry smile: "Well, actually, I also think this statement is too disgusting."

I noticed the bartender hiding behind the bar and nodded very stealthily.

In the end, the dance competition only stayed in the concept stage without being implemented, and was quickly forgotten by us together.Because after Chuya entered school, Dazai focused on tossing Chuya.

Later, I accidentally overheard a private discussion among some students. They said that Atsushi Nakajima and Akutagawa were both jealous and had Mr. Dazai's full attention, so they united instead.It's just rumors, and there is no real evidence.

The author has something to say: I won’t go into details about how the organization will change in the future and how it will affect the city appearance of Yokohama. Mixing green onion and cabbage is just a novel writer, so how can I understand those.
